$451 The Battle Came to an Abrupt End (More to Come)
On the New York battlefield a little earlier, the battle once again reached a stalemate.
Steve and Peggy Carter have embraced each other, their lives linked together by courage at this moment.
Life is the same as life, and so is death.
But that's not why the fighting stopped.
Although after knowing the purpose of Imperius, Johanna had restrained her power intentionally or unintentionally, and only used Imperius when "necessary".
But the fighting continued.
Until the moment when this sudden abnormality happened!
At this time, Leiko looked with disbelief in her eyes, following the shattering sound and the scream-like war cry as she looked at the ancestor spirit summoned by her behind her!
The phantom belonging to Madoc collapsed bit by bit at this time!
This is the moment when Madoc comes to an end!
Madoc, who had given up the name of the three ancestors, was finally no longer the most familiar stranger that every barbarian would summon.
"Madoc! What did you do!?"
Leiko's voice was a bit sharp.
As a barbarian who took over the legend of the Immortal King from Warusk, she also took over all of Warusk's love for the barbarians.
At this time, during the short time she left the Holy Mountain, Madoc disappeared.
This kind of impact caught Leiko off guard.
If there was anything that Madoc didn't consider when he made that choice, it was probably Reiko's reaction at the moment.
"Mardoc's ancestral spirit has dissipated? This is not beyond my expectation."
Imprius said while covering his mouth.
He was spitting out blood. The dark red blood was not only spurting out from his mouth and nose, but was also densely covered with wounds that looked like he had been penetrated more than once.
The set of legends on Johanna is too powerful to weaken the enemy during battle.
Each attack will take multiple times the damage. To avoid this, it is possible only to completely crush Johanna.
But now who can crush Johanna, the crusader who has gone one step further?
Prius somewhat regretted the gift given in Johanna's domain.
Johanna just frowned when she heard Leiko's words.
It was not her turn to express her opinion on matters within the barbarians.
But the emotion of "regret" still came to her mind.
At this time, Leiko frowned, and the sense of majesty that had only appeared on Warusk in her aura gradually became stronger.
It's not that Bulcaisel is not majestic enough, he is powerful enough and is loved by all barbarians.
But there is no sense of distance between him and other barbarians, and he has lost much of the mystery that a king should have.
Although these are not valued too much by barbarians...
"ha!"
Leiko let out a sharp war cry and once again summoned the spirit of the ancestors.
Although as before, no ancestor's will came to Leiko's side.
But this time, when Leiko saw three figures, she was really relieved.
Until the moment she saw the sword in the hand of the figure standing where Madoc should have been!
"Kahn? Madoc!"
Leiko squeezed out these words from between her teeth, and directly tore a rip in the air in anger!
The city continued to tremble in the hands of Leiko, who was somewhat out of control, but was stabilized by Johanna's law.
"Oh, it seems like Madoc's handiwork. That guy always arranges everything before taking action.
Maybe when he rushed towards Baal, he was also prepared accordingly? But who would have thought that Tyrael would destroy the World Stone with one sword? "
There was reminiscence in Prius's words.
He understood that a Nephalem who could leave a deep memory on him had just disappeared.
"The power of fear will accompany you all your life. Although I don't care about this very much, I don't want to see a corrupted person appear again among the Zakarum sect.
You know, Johanna, that my hatred of demons is the deepest among the archangels. "
Since Prius didn't care about Leiko's movements, he couldn't care either.
Rather, he was relieved that Leiko left.
Two sets of legends were worn on a barbarian, and even the great devil would hesitate.
"Wow~"
Prius suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, and then saw Johanna's cold eyes.
The injury that had begun to recover began to deteriorate again under the deliberate influence of Johanna, and the previous high-mindedness was lost in this big mouthful of blood.
"I'm not going to say thank you to you."
The laws around Johanna turned into soft dust and fell on the ground little by little, and then condensed into roses everywhere.
It's just that the color of the rose is not bright, it is exuding a metallic luster.
Dedication and nails piercing the ground.
On this ground, those whom Johanna considers her comrades and those who endure unwarranted suffering will recover.
But the enemy will suffer damage similar to Johanna's Thorns every second.
There's no point in beating an Imprius that won't try its best.
The Crusaders never cared about the glory of battle.
What they pursue is more "noble".
"Ha, the purpose of what I do is to get a thank you from you? Wow~"
Halfway through his words, Imprus began to spit blood again.
Imprus had no awareness of being a human being, and he didn't care about the impact of spitting blood on his body.
Perhaps this is because the ignorant are fearless?
With Imprus spitting blood twice, there was already a lot of his blood on the ground.
In the presence of several people, the blood that had not yet sunk deeply into the ground was collected by Johanna with the power of holy light.
The blood gathered into a ball and floated towards Steve.
Imprus' pupils trembled, and he understood that he was still being calculated.
But this time, he wanted to laugh.
If he hadn't been attacked by Johanna as soon as he tried to straighten his back, he would have straightened his back and laughed three times.
Although he felt Johanna's malice towards him, this malice was only regarded as a prank.
Imprus didn't care about this at all, although he was not feeling well.
Imprus looked up, looked at Johanna and said, "You didn't want to fight me from the beginning? Then why..."
"Because, no matter what you are now, you have never given up the title of 'Archangel'.
Even if you gave your status to Bul-Kathos, your eyes have never left the High Heaven!"
Johanna answered Imprus's question casually, and the blood obtained from Courage slipped into Steve and Peggy Carter's bodies along with the light of Courage.
It's better to say that Johanna and the Barbarians are comrades-in-arms than to say that the Crusaders and the Barbarians are comrades-in-arms.
There has never been a lack of conflicts within the Nephalem.
Johanna can only represent the Crusaders of her own lineage, as for the others? Who cares!
"Yes, even if I die as a 'human', I will most likely be reborn in the high-level heaven. Then I will be an angel again, although I will lose the power brought by the title of 'Archangel of Courage'.
Sounds good, right?
The same goes for demons, but why are we never willing to die once to recover ourselves?"
Inprius stretched his waist a little too hard, making a crisp sound.
This time Johanna did not stop Inprius.
"Being a human is really troublesome!"
Inprius grinned and growled, which was very painful.
"I guess it's because you will suffer some kind of damage that you don't want to bear."
Johanna said in a tone of disinterest, with a very unhappy expression.
What she said was nonsense. If there was no loss, based on Inprius's hatred of demons, he would have beaten his dog brains out long ago.
How could the eternal war be fought into this "eternal" appearance?
After so many years of fighting in the Eternal War, it seems that only Izual is on the list of casualties.
Besides, where are the well-known ones on the list of angels and demons who died?
"Huh..."
Inprius let out a long breath and finally recovered.
"Our rebirth consumes the power of the High Heaven. Where in this world is there energy that never decays? Only faith."
Inprius blatantly looked at the High Heaven in the sky in front of Johanna, and seemed to be a little depressed.
He even put away the Solarion in his hand and sat on the ground.
"So you need a reason to fight each other, so that the faith of angels and demons can maintain the glory of the High Heaven and the Burning Hell?
Then there is the War of Original Sin?"
Johanna said sarcastically, and stroked her hair.
The steel roses that can be seen everywhere on the ground began to emit a holy glow at this time.
There is no need to fight anymore.
It was just because Prius had a strange look on his face, obviously he didn't agree with Johanna's point of view.
The fight between angels and demons was not so despicable that they deceived the warriors for the sake of continuation.
Perhaps the demons were cunning and disgusting, but the angels still tried to implement the existence of virtue.
Fighting was the cruelest means, and the angels just had to do it.
But everything that happened afterwards was too cruel and unfair for the Nephalem!
